Since 5 July the traffic conditions on the A4 at Leiderdorp, Leiden and Zoeterwoude changed. That leads again to frustrated users and more congestion.

Both in the direction of Rotterdam / The Hague towards Amsterdam on the A4 last year and a third lane added. That has temporarily created a better flow. But unfortunately it is now just as for the direction of Amsterdam for Rotterdam the third job is deleted and converted into a parallel runway. That means that movement in the direction of Alphen aan den Rijn, the netherlands, Bodegraven, Leiden and Zoeterwoude earlier on the track must keep to the exit of the N11 and N206 are not to be missed.

This situation ensures that there is again a bottle neck occurs in both directions from the A4. Traffic direction Rotterdam / Den Haag can certainly make use of the parallel runway, but this is not clearly indicated. This is the occupation of the main runway increased and that leads since yesterday to large files of around 10 km.

At Rijkswaterstaat complain about the situation, for some veelrijders of this process is the daily travel time has almost doubled. According to Rijkswaterstaat itself, it is a matter of getting used to, or that really, so we have to wait and see. We will keep the developments in the holes.
